The Data Management/Business Intelligence Team endeavors to build data-intensive web applications in the same way every time. To make applications easy to create, similar in style and in code, and therefore easy for users and developers to learn, we use an evolving application skeleton, a user interface style guide, an interaction design pattern library, and a set of coding design patterns and conventions EVER TIME we create a new application. Since RAFT 3 was the first application we created using this skeleton methodology, and it evolved from a previous code base, it differs from subsequent applications and the current skeleton to some extent. Therefore, some of the following documentation must be RAFT specific or make mention of RAFT divergence from the general pattern.
For folks interested in how the application looks and acts to end users, please look at the:
Style Guide
Interaction Pattern Library
